Gloucester is a city with a long and distinguished history and it
has had more than its fair share of interesting pubs. This book
identifies more than 600 pubs, going back as far as the thirteenth
century; it explores the most interesting of these, past and
present, and their connection to the city's history. The Story of
Gloucester's Pubs examines the links that the earliest inns have
with the cathedral, and the role pubs have played in the social,
political and commercial life of the city. Discover pubs with links
to Edward II and Henry III, and luminaries such as George
Whitefield, Dick Whittington and pioneer of Sunday Schools, Robert
Raikes. Explore nautical links with Francis Drake's Golden Hind and
the Pilgrim Fathers' Mayflower, and literary links with Beatrix
Potter's The Tailor of Gloucester. Reminisce about those
much-cherished pubs that are no longer with us, and join us for a
drink in those that are.
